We studied seven consecutive patients who experienced amaurosis as a prominent feature of their seizures.The mean age of seizure onset was 4 years.Six patients had MRI abnormalities including ischemic,traumatic,and space-occupying lesions,with five limited to the parietal-occipital region.Six patients had unilateral,posterior interictal spike and slow wave complexes.Four patients experienced severe postictal headache and nausea.Absence of a family history of seizures distinguished the patients with MRI lesions from previously presented series of benign occipital lobe epilepsy.We conclude that the constellation of ictal amaurosis,occipital paroxysms,and nonlesional epilepsy;MRI is recommended for such patients without a family history of similar seizures. |
